ARRL FIELD DAY
Amateur radio is invaluable during emergencies, allows people to socialize across great distances for free, and is very useful when letting others know about oncoming inclement weather. Owen Garriot took the first amateur radio into space in 1983. Shannon Lucid used amateur radio while on the MIR space station. That's right...if you are a "ham", it's possible to listen and receive a "general call" from an astronaut in space! Come learn to send your name in Morse code and find out everything you want to know about the Amateur Radio Service-including how to get your own license! Temporary stations will be set up on HRPO grounds as the Baton Rouge Amateur Radio Club takes part in this suspenseful national transmitting exercise!
